THE Boston Transcript tells
of little school boy-a foreiguer,-
who was unable to work simple ex-
ercise that was given to the whole
school. He was much chagrined at
his inability to handle enough English
to work tho exercise. and said that he
could do it easily enough in his own
language. The teacher told him,
with smile, that he could do it in
his own language if he preferred
Whereupon he proceeded to cover
both sides of his slate With two allie
ged solutions of the exercise, one be-
ing written on one side in Hebrew
and the other on the other side in
Russian The teacher marked him
perfect-at venture.
"A man near London recently
made bet that he could kill, clean,
cook, and cat spring chicken in fif-
teen minutes. eparatory to the
contest he secured the chicken and
provided himself with pot of boil
ing water, a bucket of cold water, o
hot skillet, and a hot fiat iron
When time was called he jerked the
chickens head off, doused il in pot
of boiling water, slipped the feathers
off, cleaned it, and then laid the fry
fiat in the pan, with the ilat-iron on
top to cook the upper side. At the
close of eleven and half minutes he
had the chicken bones beautifully
polished.
Business men seem to labor to
make "the dull eason" still duller by
taking in their signs, or. what amounts
to the same thing by Withdrawing
their advertisements from their home
papers. With the business man who
advertises judiciously the year round
there is no dull season. He makes
trade by inviting it.
Never scrub your floor against
the grain.

What Is Neurasthenia:

1t is nervous exhaustion. 1t is more COM
mon in the United States than any other
country. Physicians say that from the
equator north, and from the arctic regions
south, nervous diseases reach q climax in
the temperate zone, the zone in which Eu-
ropean civilization exists Neurasthenia is a
comparatively modern disease. and is sup
posed to arise from the increased activity,
the nervous strain under which the Ameri.
can people live. In Europe nervous diseases
ciassed under this dead are but little known;
but our people are every day becoming more
nervous. and their organizations more deli
cate. 1t is partly due to our climate, but
principally to American enterprise.

topics, mostly connected with the contest Of
slavery versus freedom in the territories.
Among tn questions Lincoln asked Douglas
was this: Tan tine people of United States 5

wish Of any citizen of the United States, eX-
clude slavery from its limits prior to the for

asked the question it would make Doug

was worth 5000. 900. So he had two III

that man can lift only about two feet

groes brought on deck and each one s
wrists crossed and tied fast They Were
then placed along the gunwaleS, facing
outward and leaning over. and a strong
cord fastened the hands Of each one 10 this
heavy iron cable just below them on the
outside.
Then the captain awaited the result ot
the race He had on every stitch of can

run till dark he hoped TO dodge tht

other day. But the sun did not go down
